My Passion ~~~~ En plein air ~~~~ ~ My Painting Blog

This blog that blog the other blog... but who am I???

I am a painter, blessed to be a wife to a fabulous guy & a mommy to 5 lovely kiddos (C-19, M-11, M-11, T-7, W-6) and we have our tiny one in heaven. I am my Beloveds and He is mine. I love to paint "en plein air" - French for "in open air". When I can I enjoy cooking really good food. Our family tries to be organic and frugal. One of our beautiful children is on a gluten and casein free diet. All the boys are casein free. One boy has a Birch allergy including strawberries and apples. My kids have always loved their vegetables and fruits. I have liked "digging in the dirt" as long as I can remember and get that itch every spring, summer, fall and again about mid-winter.

I really want my own vegetable garden, greenhouse and fruit tree grove, with fabulous flowers everywhere! ~ wait, did I mention the potting shed and grape arbor? :) Then, in my free time, I will sit outside and paint the beauty of it all! :)

I keep a garden of raised beds, earthboxes and various containers.
